The Lady Jackrabbits not only had their first day of classes this Wednesday September 3, but also had their first game to kick off their season. The girls visited Mira Costa to face the Mustangs in their first pre-season game, but unfortunately the girls fell behind on the scoreboard, losing 16-2. Winning two out of the 18 possible matches were the doubles team of juniors Megan Guttieri and Ariana Crockett, and the senior captain singles player, Shannon Dow.
“It was a lot of pressure to get the win since there was only one win on our side,” said Crockett. “I am proud of how we played , it was nice to win one against a solid tennis team like Mira Costa,” added partner Guttieri.
The girls also played North Torrance yesterday, Thursday September 4, but could not be reported on due to press time constraints.
The girls are now practicing for their next pre-season game next Tuesday, September 9 against Glen A. Wilson, and leading up to their first Moore League on Tuesday September 16, against one of their fiercest competitors, the Wilson Bruins. “We need to give our 100 percent,”said Dow regarding their future game against Wilson. “I’m confident in our abilities.”
